SOUTH WEST TYNESIDE METHODIST CIRCUIT

Provision of buildings/facilities/resources to promote the Christian faith in accordance with the Doctrinal Standards of the Methodist Church through Methodist Churches worshipping and witnessing together for Christ in South West Tyneside

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there 44 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?

Financial issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
